Tippets Family Reunion - Our journey was not as peaceful as it would appear!




Well, after moving and living in Bountiful for less than a week we packed up again and headed to the Tippets Family Reunion near Granby, Colorado. The worst part about the trip was the 6 hour drive that turned into a 91/2 hour drive. Our first delay was caused by Dalloin getting carsick because he was playing his Nintendo DS. This resulted in him puking all over himself and the car. The next delay happened in Vernal. We got out to eat at WalMart and little Cj had messed his pants something fierce. For the final 45 minutes (or so we thought) Colter was ornery and crying. My first road trip with a baby was not as fun as I had envisioned. When we got to Gransby we followed the directions we had gotten off of Yahoo Maps. This was a major mistake because we ended up in the middle of nowhere. When we asked a nice old lady for directions to our destination she laughed at us and said we were way off. Which we were. It was about another 15 miles away.

We finally arrived...late. We were however pleasantly surprised by our accomadations and it was a beautiful area.

The next 2 days were fun and the normal crazy Tippets traditions played out as expected. There was the famous Tippets rap (twice). The singing of Cowboy Joe. The telling of the 2 stories about anything that the Tippets family has ever done that would be considered great (twice), and a whole lot of yelling at the kids getting them to calm down and not run around.

We also had a great time playing games and catching up with family that we do not get to see regularly, and those we do. We can't wait for the next one in 3 or 4 years.
